Question

I cannot get my current location in iphone simulator. I set custom location to latitude and longitude to Egypt but doesn’t get current location.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    //Make this controller the delegate for the map view.
    self.MapView.delegate = self;     

    // Ensure that you can view your own location in the map view.
    [self.MapView setShowsUserLocation:YES];



    //Instantiate a location object.
    locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

    //Make this controller the delegate for the location manager.
    [locationManager setDelegate:self];

    //Set some parameters for the location object.
    [locationManager setDistanceFilter:kCLDistanceFilterNone];
    [locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];
}

and this is delegate :

#pragma mark - MKMapViewDelegate methods.

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mv didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views 
{    
    MKCoordinateRegion region;
    region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(locationManager.location.coordinate,2000,2000);


    [mv setRegion:region animated:YES];
}

Please any one help me.

What’s the problem exactly? Not getting a userLocation where you’re supposed to have or not moving the map region to the right place?

If it’s the first, it is mostly a tools issue, not a code issue:

If your location is in a gpx file inside your project you should be able to start at it by editing Scheme / Options / Allow Location Simulation / and choose your default Location

And you should have a DemoStart.gpx file in your project that looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gpx version="1.1" creator="Xcode">
    <wpt lat="20.88072" lon="10.67429">
        <name>Demo Starting Location</name>
    </wpt>
</gpx>

(Sorry, I’m too lazy to find Egypt’s exact coordinates).
